70 73!! Seats???
Looks like the Alberta Tories may have actually increased their majority. Ex-theologian and Kyoto dweeb supporter is sitting in a bar with Calgary Grit and BCer in Toronto crying in their beers.
Apparently the “Liberal brand” is just not selling.
Somehow I am not surprised.
Update the First: “The extent of the Conservative victory stunned the Alberta Liberals, led by Kevin Taft, who are on the way to losing more than half of their 16 legislative seats, led by a collapse in their traditional base of support in Edmonton.” cbc
Here’s a little hint…Albertans, alone apparently among Canadians, actually recognize the real cost of the Kyoto nonsense. Taft wanted to, at least, look at Kyotoish thinking. That was more than enough to lose seats.
Update the Second: 53% 26% 8.6% Snort!
Crying in my beer? Hardly. I was more amused than anything, having no stake at all in the Alberta vote.
Remove these malicious and reckless defamatory statements that impugn my reputation at once or you’ll hear from my lawyers, and what not!
Albertans don’t need liberals…they have Stelmach which is a soft liberal.
This should cost Taft his job. Losing seats in the election considering the pre-election climate in Alberta took an almost Dion-esque effort in credibility management.
